Gardening for Beginners

Do you have a potentially good garden but do not know where to begin?

The first 3 days of this popular 4 day course take place in the Chelsea Physic Garden gallery with the final day spent in two private gardens near Petersfield. Your tutor is RHS Master of Horticulture Ben Pope.  Covers all you need to know to care for your garden  – understanding your soil, choosing and selecting new plants, growing new plants from seed and taking cuttings, common pests and diseases, lawn care, pruning trees, shrubs and climbers, vegetable and fruit growing, control of weeds, mulching and composting are all explained and demonstrated. The final day spent in 2 private gardens brings everything into context and gives time for questions and personal involvement.

Course notes are included and a light lunch on the 1st and final days of the course
